Consultants' Report of (name of your country here). Team hired based on TOR (150 points)
For this assignment you have to use the second Wiki Space “country-consult”, (i.e. if you are the consultant for China the page will be “china-consult-fall17”). During week 5 you will receive an invitation from the Professor to join your Consult Wikis.
You will develop a report to respond to the TOR for a specific country. The report represents a potential major “Development Grant Project” supported by one of the major Development Banks that is part of the Health Sector Reform currently going on in the country that hired you as a consultant.
A detailed outline including headings and specific length of each one is included here so you can copy it to the Wiki space of your specific country. All other members of the class need to check all the reports at least once a week before the “Global Healthcare Management Assembly Symposium” that will start on week 11. By the end of week 10 all countries should have a "Complete Draft Consultant Report" available for review. The final report of each country consultancy will be available for all to review in the Wiki before each country’s presentation and discussion (see course schedule for details). When there are several members in the consulting team, then all the members of the consultant team must write and contribute to develop this report in the Wiki.
The Primary Consultant will be responsible for updating the Report in the Wiki using the results of the country discussion afterthe week that your specific country is discussed and then submitting the final Consultancy Report for grading on the “Assignments” tool as a word document attachment.
If there are other Consultant(s) is/are responsible to coordinate the discussion in the Discussion Board during the week assigned for your country and to post on the WebCourses discussion board the summary of the discussion by Sunday at 11 PM of that week.
Below is the outline and guideline for the consulting report sections: (Please follow the instructions in parenthesis for the length of each section. The wiki doesn't provide a word count, so more or less there are 18 words per line. The total length of this paper should be around 135-150 Wiki lines, or 2400-3000 words or 6-8 pageswith the format indicated in the course protocols. In the Wiki you will have at different times of your report development different lengths of a draft document and the number of words is only a reference for you to facilitate your final edition. The paper in Word that you will submit will be 8-10 pages long including the cover page and the final page for references.)
1. Cover Letter to the MOH of the Country (10 lines)
(This should be a brief but “official” letter that has the report as an Attachment.)
2. Consultant’s Report (Add a Title for the Report)
(Include an attractive title for the report indicate also the name of the Country.)
3. Primary Consultant:
(Name and no more than 2 lines of relevant experience if appropriate.)
Secondary Consultant (If there are more than 2 consultants add a third consultant name below this one):
(Name and no more than 2 lines of relevant experience if appropriate.)
4. Problem Description (20 lines)
(Taken from Scope of Work of TOR but you should refine it.)
5. Conclusion-Recommendations (25 lines)
(This section many times goes in the end of the report, but it helps to have it here in an executive report such as this one.)
6. Background Information (20 lines)
(Include here information not provided in the respective country report that is useful to understand the proposed solution[s].)
7. Proposed Solution(s) (60 lines)
(This section should define the proposed solution(s) (if you have more than one problem or solution you should use the following headings for each one of them): The objective [including some goals or expected results]; Description [including methods, implementation plan and anticipated obstacles]; and Resources Needed [in a very generic and graphic way state your estimate of human, financial, technological or other resources that the proposed solution will require, also here present the time frame for the implementation plan. Remember that sometimes it is possible to have a short-term solution and a long-term solution for a specific problem.)
8. References
(Include here references used in the proposal with the customary APA reference and citation format. If needed, a reference can have a short comment. All references need to be cited; do not include references that are not cited in your document.)
